Nor. 28. A scramble for marriage licenses 4 In ths office of th city clerk 4 hero yesterday resulted In a riot In whloh Ave man and two wo- nan wer seriously injured. Ths d indirect onus of th riot was aa edict issued by Mayor Car- e son that 100 negro ss get mar- rled and ssttls down or leave 4 town within It hour. Wednesday night patrolmen raided a house occupied by negroes, and conditions revealed at the trial caused tit mayor's O edict. Ths rush for marriage licenses waa so great that ths entire polios fore of the town was celled out to preserve order. Men fought with each other to get to the clerk's desk, and In the scramble two prospective brides wer trampled under d foot. Four rioter were clubbed s h. tttm nolle and another waa shot through ths hand by some ono in ths crowd. 1 Of the greeting he received waa worthy of the grant Mississippi valley and ths president . of ths republic. President Roosevelt was profoundly Impressed with The magnitude of ths demonstration. He said aa much In words and mora In ac tions, for he mad no effort to conceal his pleasure. From ths time the special baa ring ths distinguished guest was side tracked close by ths Transportation building until the presidential party loft th exposition grounds lata this after noon Mr. Roosevelt received a continual ovation. It was a few minutes before t o'clock when ths gayly decorated presidential special opened w ids Its curtained doors. Despite the hour hundreds of persons thronged ths neighborhood and greeted th president's appearance with shouts ssssssSsgsaV ..fc siiara whistles and bells took up the acclaim and for a few min utes th air resounded with a perfect medley of discordant sounds. Th mem bers of th rsoeptlon committee had met the train before It reached the city and President Francis and other representa tives ef the exposition were on hand to welcome the president as soon ss ths Dartv had flnlahed breakfast. After greetings had been exchanged. jdMn distinguished visitors wsrs taken In tow and a tour of the exposition ground was begun. This morning waa devoted to a tour of the exhibit palaces of the north ern tier, beginning with the Trans porta tlon building and winding up at ths Gov ernment building, where special arrange ments had been mads for the reception of the president In which federal troops participated. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock In the west pavilion. After luncheon the build ings on th south tier ware visited, in cluding Mines and Metallurgy, Education. Electricity and Machinery.

President Francis entertained a box party Including Mr. Roosevelt and Alio at ths game. Perhaps the greatest crush of ths day took place as ths president ascended the steps leading to th manufactures and Ono arts building. Ths crowd at this point bad reached ths absolute "packing" point and ths police had great difficulty in keeping a clear way. Flags Wore everywhere In evidence, hats were burled Into th air and th spectators literally e beared themselves hoarse In their ex citement. Through It all the president pa sd unmoved, sxcspt that his expansive smile waa constant and his bowing al most oontinuaL During ths greater part of ths day ths president waa escorted about the grounds by a squad of cavalry. But all idea of keeping ths delighted people at a dis tance was abandoned before ths presiden tial party had gone far on their tour of inspection, and aa ths party proceeded along the various avenues and walks of ths fair grounds ths acclaiming multi tude overran th lawns and good-naturedly elbowed for room In which to raise and wave flags and other emblems of a national nature.

SAVES NAN FROM HORRIBLE DEATH Patrolman Fonee Drags George Martin from the Brink of a Muddy Grave. FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE OF A BELATED CITIZEN Sinks in Slime to the Armpits, and te About to Be En gulfed When Rescued. As h was slowly sinking to a hor rible death In the quagmire marking the site of the Corbet t street fill, a man who gave hie name as Oeorge Martin was rescued this morning by Policeman I.. C. Fones, after a struggle lasting three quartera of an hour. When Fones reached the scene In re sponse to cries for help, Martin was np to his armpits in the mud. By the time aid arrived he was too exhausted to struggle longer, ai.d In a few minutes his head would have sunk beneath the surface of the mud and slime. Policeman Fones waa patrolling his beat at 3:50 a. m. when he beard a cry of "hello!"; He stopped and listened In tently. In a few seconds a faint cry of "help!" was borne to his ears. The officer discovered the msn, saw his plight, and hastily procured planks. pickets and whatever else could be brought Into use, and tossed them to him, telling him to place them under his arms. Taking fresh hope. Martin made a strenuous effort and sucoseded in obeying the order. The patrolman then procured a rope, and after hard work hauled out Martin. ' When he reached firm ground Martin was a sorry-looking object, covered as he was with slime from his Involuntary mud bath. It appears that he walked out on firm ground until hs ranched the spot where the soft mud was worse than quicksand anil suddenly plunged In up to his waist. His strusmle sxhauated him and caused htm to sink. He had hardly strength enough left to call for assistanos when Policeman Fones ar rived. It was 1:60 o'clock when Fones heard the call for help and 4:38 when he suc ceeded In getting Martin out of the mud. The victim of the accident waa exceedingly reluctsnt to give his name, and It Is believed Martin Is a flcltlous one. He wore good clothing and ap peared to be a prosperous cltlsen. The policeman ruined his shoes and trousers in saving the man. Red lights wrs burning on both sides of the fill at the time of the accident to mark the place as dsngerous.

A perceptible pallor overspread th face of Bmma Watson as th evi dences of her relations with her co defendant were told from the witness stand, and she gazed stonily at th op posite wall, refusing to look at the wit ness even when Mr. Heney ssked hhn th question : "Have you ever before seen Oil wom an, sitting here the one wearing a MM veR,'" wnfte waist and gray skirt?"

"Dld Mr. Puter Introduce her to your "He did." T V "Under what name?" "Hs Introduced her as Mrs. Puter. They occupied the same room." Every eye In the courtroom was fixed upon the two defendants. Puter's face plainly showed Ms deep discomfiture. Leaning back agslnst s post, he kept hi gate fixed upon the witness with a mani fest effort to maintain his composure. Poindexter had already testified that he knew Puter, and pointed him out In response to Mr. Honey's questions. An offsr to Introduce the hotel register, showing that the two defendants had registered as Mr. and Mrs. Puter, called forth a protest from counsel for th de fense. judBx Piass insisted that th prosecution bad no right to offer evi dence which tended to excite a prejudice In the minds of the jury against th de fendants. Mr. Heney replied, arguing that If twe alleged counterfeiter were on trie, th prosecution could show, as a circum stance tending to prove their conspiracy, the closer relations existing between them, snd to thst end could show that they occupied the same room. Evidence otherwise competent could not be exclud ed on the ground thst It would tend to excite a prejudice among the Juror against defendants. eh Court's View. "That might be true in th case of two counterfeiters,'' said Judge Bellinger; "but where a man and a woman are con cerned there might be a reason other than the alleged conspiracy for their in timacy Certain Inferences might be drawn. In the case of a man and a wom an, which would not arise In the case of two men. bo you contend that where the parsons concerned are a man and a woman you could still Introduce evi dence that they occupied the seme room ?" Mr. Heney, who has prepared his naae With remnrkable cere and seems armed at all points sgalnst possible objection to the testimony he wishes to Intro duce, had a mass of authorities to' sustain hi contention that this evi dence was admissible.
